Snowshoe Hike Matterhorn Glacier Trail

A magical winter snowshoe tour

The snowshoe tour along the Matterhorn Glacier Trail is without a doubt one of the most beautiful experiences in the winter wonderland of Zermatt’s Alpine world. Accompanied by a ZERMATTERS qualified mountain guide, you make your way along a route from Trockener Steg to Schwarzsee. Ahead of you lies an unspoiled winter world as you trace your tracks in the snow, climbing past the Theodul Glacier lake until you reach an isolated plateau. Time seems to stand still here. The world is peaceful, a soft blanket of snow covers the ground. One mountain after another rises up ahead of you: the Matterhorn, the Dent Blanche and the Gabelhorn. A little further below the Matterhorn, the path turns down towards Schwarzsee. Once the idyllic lake and the little “Maria zum Schnee” chapel appear, you are almost at your destination.
